Zlebye


6th of January marks the day of 3id el Ghotas or Feast of the Epiphany - Baptism of Our Lord. The Official end of the Christmas period for Catholics.

Not sure what the significance behind the Zlebye custom is. But when the christmas tree finally comes down, the zlebye comes out.

Legend has it that on this day, Jesus comes and visits your house at night and blesses you while your asleep. So always leave the window open so he might be able to enter.
